Fajita Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice and Beans

    Cook the rice according to package instructions. Heat the beans in a small saucepan until warm.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers, onion, and tomato into thin strips or dice as desired.

  3. 3

    Grill the Protein

    Season the protein of choice with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the protein until fully cooked (chicken, beef, or shrimp should reach an internal temperature of 75°C/165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet or grill, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender. Add the diced tomato and fajita BBQ sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Fajitas

    On each flour tortilla, layer the grilled protein, sautéed vegetables, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream. Wrap or fold the tortillas around the filling.
